Chinese Squawking Chicken Intro for January 29, 2016 Dear Gossips, The Academy announced its first group of Oscar performers and presenters yesterday which, to me, feels early. But that was supposed to change the conversation, get people off the topic, at least for a minute, of #OscarsSoWhite. The Weeknd, Gaga, and Sam Smith will perform.

Chinese Squawking Chicken Cameron’s first anniversary I can’t find any photos of Cameron Diaz on a red carpet in 2015. The last I remember her being on a red carpet was to promote Annie in December 2014. Two weeks after that she got married.

TV Updates Kit to the SAGs? Kit Harington was photographed yesterday in London. Those shots are attached below.

Baby and Bump Obsession Louis Tomlinson’s first son Let’s start off saying that I’m operating at a little bit of a Louis Tomlinson deficit, in that, like most people, Harry and Zayn were the only two One Directioners whose last names I could have sworn to at gunpoint, and if I were going to choose a By Duana • Jan 28, 2016 03:24 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Posh’s floral dress I was a lot more excited about this when I thought it was a jumpsuit, or a top and pants combination. It’s just a dress though which makes it less special to me. Also I think these are the wrong shoes for it. Not only because of that lift By Lainey • Jan 28, 2016 03:09 pm

Amazingness Amber Rose on tweeting and pegging Twitter’s been on the financial pages lately because of its stock price. Don’t worry. I’m not going to become a financial analyst here. I’m just pointing out that the company’s share values have been dropping and that yesterday there was reason for investors to feel By Lainey • Jan 28, 2016 12:27 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Tyra Banks’s new son, York I will freely admit that I initially misread Tyra Banks’ son’s name – her son who, she revealed yesterday, was born via gestational surrogate. Not being up on her boyfriend, photographer Erik Asla, I thought she named the baby York Banks Asia. She didn’t, but I hadn’t slept By Duana • Jan 28, 2016 11:49 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Annie’s honeycomb dress The pattern here reminds me of honeycomb. Do you see it too? Honeycomb and bees are what f-ck me up about nature. It’s f-cked! Those hexagons are perfect – and it’s BEES, not machines, that buzz around creating them. When I think about it too hard it freaks me By Lainey • Jan 28, 2016 11:22 am

Media Manipulation Natalie Portman’s placeholder press? Natalie Portman wants you to know she’s “back,” and can also hold a tune with Sia and Jimmy Fallon.

Movie Reviews and Previews Colin Farrell’s new girlfriend? I haven’t posted about Colin Farrell in a LONG time. Like since August. Despite the fact that he’s actually never looked better.

Chinese Squawking Chicken Intro for January 28, 2016 Dear Gossips, It’s about that time for Vanity Fair to release its annual Hollywood Issue.

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, January 27, 2016 This will get reposted without humour or irony a few hundred times because Instagram has never met an inspirational quote it doesn’t like.
